Material

🌳 1. Materials

• Premium Solid Wood: Typically crafted from kiln-dried hardwoods such as basswood, poplar, or paulownia—chosen for durability, lightweight strength, and smooth, paintable surfaces

• Eco‑Wood Composite (Eco‑Wood / Eco‑Wood Plus): Engineered wood-fibre panels coated with medical-grade polypropylene and UV protection. Especially the Plus version is fully waterproof, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries

🔧 2. Louvre & Operation

• Louvre sizes: Available in  63 mm, 76 mm, 89 mm, and 114 mm across models, balancing light control and aesthetics

• Tilt mechanisms: Options include centre-tilt, gear-tilt, and clearview tilt rods for intuitive light adjustment and an uncluttered appearance

🏋️♂️ 3. Durability & Stability

• Natural wood (basswood, poplar) offers excellent grain uniformity, strength, and minimal likelihood of warping—especially when kiln-dried 

• Eco‑Wood composites provide superior dimensional stability versus solid wood, offering similar appearance with enhanced resistance to moisture and UV 

💧 4. Moisture & Waterproof Capabilities

• Composite Eco‑Wood Plus: Fully waterproof, highly suitable for humid environments like bathrooms and kitchens 

• Solid wood shutters should be sealed or treated for high-humidity areas to prevent warping or cracking 

🌞 5. Energy & Light Control

• Adjustable louvers allow precise control of daylight and privacy.

• Shutters create an insulating barrier, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer—acting almost like double glazing 

🎨 6. Color Finishes & Aesthetics

• Painted finishes: Available in various whites (e.g., Pure White, Silk White, Extra White) and custom colors

• Stains & natural grain: Highlight wood textures—especially in basswood—for a premium, timeless look

🧼 7. Maintenance & Longevity

• Both wood and eco‑wood shutters are low-maintenance—dust with microfiber, occasional wipe-down, and avoid harsh chemicals 

• High-quality finishes resist UV, staining, and fading, contributing to long-term durability
